Give that lady a Peabody!

The Peabody folks claim they give their awards. for "outstanding" journalism and "excellence." So just how clueless do you have to be to qualify? Take Katty Kay, the BBC's chief US correspondent, in New York today to pick up her prize. On Morning Joe, Kay got off a double-barreled dose of classic MSM-think:

1. she defended Elena Kagan's opposition to military recruiting on campus on the theory that the nominee is in the mainstream . . . of college deans.

2. chatting with the man who made Third World micro-loans famous and who preaches business without profits, Kay fretted that the crash "has not been long enough" to turn people off capitalism.

I totally agree with you....

My Dutch brother-in-law and his wife, both big liberals, loved the system in Holland and they just don’t put it together that we US taxpayers, in our capitalist system, allowed them to enjoy their socialist services since they didn’t have to pay for their own protection. Not only that but their society wasn’t overrun with other cultures with bad work ethics. However, that has changed now.
